![]() My ears don’t really perk up until the ScHoolboy Q’s song simply titled ‘X’ starts. ![]() Following this track is a smoothly delicious song called “All the Stars” featuring SZA that is sure to do better on the Billboard charts than any of the other singles from the album. After all, kinghood has always been a favored theme of his. Based on these lyrics, one would almost believe Lamar is Black Panther. Basically the ‘Black Panther’ theme song, Lamar’s lyrics draw parallels between his own life and that of T’Challa’s, the titular Black Panther. The opening track, while not exceptional, sets the tone and lets the anticipation set in. Either side of the fence you land on, there is a lot to appreciate on this album. But with Lamar, you know there’s going to be a lot of R&B influence on there as well. He did a lot of work in curating the talent brought to this explosive experience are there certainly some bangers. And while Kendrick may play a smaller role on some tracks, his voice is all over this album. In this off year, instead of “Untitled Unmastered,” a previously released B-side compilation which featured some of his darkest beats yet, we have the “Black Panther” soundtrack. He basically drops an album every other year, and in his off years, he puts out less official work.
